Dear women, you know we can actually hold out until marriage?

How many of you watched that Nick Cannon video yesterday where he listed the names of 5 famous women he's slept with? (See it here) Did you hear what he said about Mariah Carey when they asked him when they first slept together?

"On our wedding night, honeymoon style, in the Bahamas. That's a real woman there, make you wait, til you got married." Nick said

About other women, Nick said "It's LA! That's the whole purpose, you have sex with actresses, singers, models...but Mariah made me wait"

In essence, a real woman makes a man wait till they are married before giving herself to him? I know it's really difficult to hold out, especially when you're crazy in love with the guy, but the thing is, men actually respect that. They really do. And whether you sleep with a man or not, if he wants to marry you, he will, right?

Personally, I don't know if I can. I'd love to I swear. I keep telling myself that's the plan but you can meet a guy tomorrow now with Brad Pitt's face, Tyson Beckford's body, Gerard Butler's charm and Kevin Hart's sense of humour and lose your senses. lol. But ultimately this is the best thing to do, wait till you are married. What do you ladies think? And big kudos to Mariah

I can’t waste my time on El-Rufai, he’s too small - Pastor Oritsejafor

In an interview with Punch today, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor responded for the first time on Mallam Nasir Elrufai's claims that the private jet he got some months back was from the presidency and not from his church members. (Find story here)

Your children in the ministry
bought aircraft for you recently, but Mallam Nasir el-Rufai claimed it
was a gift from the President. How do you feel about this?

I am glad that there are people who
challenged him. I would only be dignifying him if a person at my level
starts exchanging words with a small person like el-Rufai. He is too
small. I will not dignify him with a response. People responded. They
told him that since he knew who gave the gift, he should provide the
proof, which he hasn’t done till today. Obviously, he didn’t have any
proof. That is the problem with Nigeria. We continue to celebrate people
like el-Rufai. He is too small for me.

Are you considering legal actions against him?

If I did that, I would be giving him
publicity. el-Rufai is too small for that. I shouldn’t have anything to
do with him. If there are other Nigerians who will want to take him to
court, they are free, but not for me. Going to court with who? el-Rufai?
el-Rufai is too small. I won’t waste my time on him.

Pastor Sign Fireman absolved of murder

Weeks after he was arrested for the alleged ritual murder of a virgin girl, Pastor Sign Fireman, the founder of Perfect Christianity Mission, has been cleared of all murder charges.

The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) absolved
the popular pastor of
complicity in the murder of a 12 year old virgin after the conclusion of police investigations into the incident.

"After a careful consideration of the
facts contained in the duplicate file, this office is of the opinion
that a prima facie case of murder is established against the primary
suspect (Egbo) only. In view of the foregoing, this office shall prosecute Egbo at the state high court for the offence of murder.

“On
the other hand, the second suspect (Fireman) is to be released
forthwith if he is still in custody as no case is established against
him,” the DPP stated.

Ikechukwu Egbo, the young man who strangled the little girl to death in an abandoned building in the Badagry area of Lagos is still in custody and has been charged with murder. Fireman has since said he's not planning to sue the police over his arrest because they were only doing their job.
